A growing dental practice in a welcoming small-town community in Westphalia, MO is seeking a full-time associate dentist. We are looking for a motivated and skilled clinician who aligns with the practice’s philosophy of comprehensive general dentistry.

This role offers unique opportunities to gain hands-on experience in implant placement, full-arch surgery, and both removable and fixed prosthetics.

Schedule:

Full-time, Monday through Thursday

The practice is planning to expand with a second location within the next year or two. Rather than keeping associates tied solely to Westphalia, this position is designed to help grow skills and serve as a springboard for future practice ownership or leadership opportunities. Staying long-term in Westphalia is also welcomed, as the community is known for its friendly atmosphere, supportive residents, and slower pace of life—ideal for both personal and professional growth.

• Guaranteed minimum salary: $200,000
• Health insurance provided
• Malpractice coverage provided by associate
• Additional benefits and terms are negotiable

Our previous associate, fresh out of dental school, produced just over $1,100,000 in her first year, demonstrating the strong earning potential in this position.
